A Badly Damaged British War Ship.
THE CANADA MUCH DEMORALIZED BY HER COLLISION


The British war ship Canada arrived at Halifax
Wednesday from her cruise In the st. Lawrence.
She was very seriously damaged by her collision
with the English bark Peeress on the 10th. Her
ram is twisted around to the port side, and por-
ton OF the stem was thus torn on, making large
hole in the fore water-tight compartment. The
Peeress, on being struck by the Canada, hung on
her ram for q few moments during which seven
or eight men from the bark climbed on. board the
man-of-war. On getting clear the bark rapidly
settled down I'LL the Water was flush with her
upper deck, and she would have sunk In q few
minutes bat for her cargo OF timber The Canada
stood by the PeereSS throughout the night, hop
ing to be able take her In tow the next day. but
the heavy sea prevented. The following day the
weather moderated, and the bark was lowed 10
Gaspe when the diver OF the Canada examined
both vessels. The Peeress is hopeleSSly damaged,
there being hole la her side through which the
diver could pass. The timberS in her side were
torn outward by the Canaca'S ram. She remains
at Gaspe waterlogged. Ii Is thought the Canada
will have 10 go TO England, but exposure To bad
weather In her present unSeaworthy condition
would be too risky.
